Are we talking frontend or backend here? Historically JS has ended up 'king' solely because it's the only language browsers support - but do you not think WebAssembly has the power to change things here?
And on the backend... I'd dispute that it's used for a majority of backend applications. Perhaps a majority of new applications?
